The All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has called for the immediate prosecution of former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP Atiku Abubakar.
Addressing a press conference by the Joint Media Directorates of the Tinubu/ Shettima Campaign Council in Abuja, Director Public Affairs, Festus Keyamo said, Atiku Abubakar during his tenure as Vice president of Nigeria between 1999 to 2007, allegedly colluded with his Boss President Olusegun Obasanjo to sideline public funds using what he termed Special Purpose Vehicles. Keyamo noted that the allegation is based on a recent revelation by a whistle blower, Michael Achimugu, on the activities of the PDP candidate then as vice president of Nigeria.
The Council further called on Atiku Abubakar to step down from the Presidential race and hand himself over to the law enforcement agencies.
Meanwhile, the Council also disclosed plans to initiate a judicial process seeking the outright disqualification of Atiku Abubakar from the race, in the next few days.
